Game Overview
Rise of Olympus is played on a 5×5 grid layout with cluster-based mechanics instead of traditional paylines. Wins are formed by landing three or more matching symbols in a horizontal or vertical line, after which winning combinations are removed, and new symbols cascade down to fill the grid — a feature known as the cascade mechanic.
This slot has high volatility and offers a maximum win of up to 5,000x your stake. The game includes multiple features such as Hand of God, Wrath of Olympus, and a powerful Free Spins round, making every spin full of potential.
Theme and Design
Set against a backdrop of Olympus itself, the game is rich in mythological symbolism and detailed design. Players can choose from three different gods to accompany them on the reels — Zeus, Hades, or Poseidon — each standing to the right of the grid and occasionally intervening with divine powers.
The overall aesthetic combines classical Greek architecture, celestial backgrounds, and dramatic audio. Animations are smooth, and every god is brought to life with unique effects and voice lines, enhancing the immersion with every feature activation.
Symbols and Payouts
The symbols in Rise of Olympus are heavily inspired by Greek mythology:
-
High-paying symbols: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades
-
Medium symbols: Helmets, Tridents, Lightning Bolts, and Harps (god-specific items)
-
Wild Symbol: A golden Pegasus coin which substitutes for all other symbols
The most valuable symbol is the Wild Pegasus coin, which pays significantly when landing five in a row. Among the gods, Zeus is the highest paying, followed by Poseidon and Hades. Combinations can also include mixed god symbols, though these pay less than matching combinations.
Hand of God Feature
The Hand of God feature can trigger randomly on non-winning spins in the base game. Depending on which god is active, the effect varies:
-
Hades: Transforms one set of symbols into another
-
Poseidon: Adds up to two Wild symbols
-
Zeus: Destroys two sets of symbols
This feature helps trigger wins and plays a strategic role in clearing the grid, which is crucial for unlocking the bonus round.
Wrath of Olympus
Every win with a god symbol charges the Wrath of Olympus meter, split into three segments. Filling this meter triggers a special bonus round where all three Hand of God effects are activated in sequence, one after another.
This increases the chance of clearing the entire grid — a key condition for triggering the Free Spins round — and offers rapid succession of high-potential modifiers.
Free Spins Feature
Clearing the entire grid of symbols triggers the Free Spins round, where players choose one of the three gods, each offering different levels of risk and reward:
-
Hades: Frequent Hand of God features with low risk
-
Poseidon: Balanced frequency and volatility
-
Zeus: Less frequent but higher volatility effects
During Free Spins:
-
The chosen god’s Hand of God feature activates on every non-winning spin
-
Each time you clear the grid again during Free Spins, you receive additional spins (up to a cap)
-
A win multiplier increases by +1 each time a cascade occurs — and it never resets during the feature
This bonus round is where the biggest win potential lies, especially if the multiplier climbs steadily with successive wins and cascades.
Betting Range and RTP
Rise of Olympus accommodates a wide range of players with betting options from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. Its Return to Player (RTP) stands at 96.5%, which is above industry average and contributes to solid long-term value.
Because of its high volatility, bankroll management is important, but the game’s feature-rich design ensures it remains engaging throughout both base game and bonus rounds.
Mobile Compatibility
Rise of Olympus is fully optimized for mobile and tablet play thanks to HTML5 technology. It runs smoothly on both Android and iOS devices, preserving all graphical detail, animations, and sound quality. The controls are responsive and the layout adapts fluidly to smaller screens, making it ideal for gaming on the go.
